This page shows how to connect Claude Code to Zapier MCP with a single CLI command.

​
Before you begin

  • A Zapier account. You can create one when you sign in during setup, so there is no need to sign up first.
  • Claude Code installed. Claude Code connects directly through the CLI. If you are on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, your organization may require Owner approval before you can add MCP servers. Learn more in Anthropic’s connector documentation.
  • Rolling out to your organization? An Owner can add Zapier for everyone at once: follow Roll out Zapier MCP to your Claude organization.

  • Click Continue.
  • Review the access Claude Code is requesting, then click Allow.

Return to Claude Code

Go back to Claude Code and paste the prompt you copied. It runs Zapier’s onboarding.
Zapier also publishes an official Claude Code plugin. If you have Anthropic’s official plugin marketplace added, run /plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official. Otherwise, add the Zapier marketplace first with /plugin marketplace add zapier/zapier-mcp, then run /plugin install zapier@zapier-plugins.
You’ve now connected Zapier MCP to Claude Code.
